Well, it's a series of VCA with VC crossfade. <br>
But what's also cool about this module is when you put nothing in
the inputs and use a VCO/LFO to drive it. This way you can actually
draw a waveform using the 9 pots.<br>

Consider a Cirklon with cvio for driving the modular. I
finally went multi-timbral. And I gained 4U of space as I
could ditch the midi2CV's.<br>

As for sounds, keep track of your patches. I take foto's of

<div>With a Doepfer it's quite hard to see any connections on

the Oscillator -- but where it comes from is hard to tell

Yep I have the same problem here. I have to take notes also.<br>
I use colored patch cables and I even added some colored tape to
make distinction between cables. And usually this doesn't matter as
you'll never get the exact same sound out of it. But it's fun to
keep track of the modules I use...<br>

As for addiction, I've been as good as clean for the last 2
years. I only replaced the midi2cv's because I didn't like
the holes ;-)<br>

<div>Well the main shortcoming right now for me is that I can't
change the LFO's speed with CV. And that my trusty old
Syntecno TeeBee 303 (wich 4xGate/CV) is not close to the
modular. But that will change soon...</div>

<div>
<div>A VC LFO is a must, Especially if you want to make 'bug'
music. Also a VC EG's is nice. I'm planning on upgrading some of
my oakley EG's for this feature. <br>

Have fun with it! (and be gentle with the PSU)</span></blockquote>
<br>
</div>
<div>What are the dangers? I can blow things up, by using too much
power? I thought there would only be no sound... Ah, I guess I
need to pay more attention to the minute details...</div>
</blockquote>
Well, my PSU's just stop working when overloaded or when the
difference between both rails is too big. I use the power one
supplies (big ones).<br>
I have my PSU's (4 of them) loaded for about 40 to 75%. When I have
a new module I always test it with a test PSU first. I always
measure the current.<br>
I have a friend who bought an analog systems on ebay about a year
ago. There was terrible hum on the outputs. I replaced the PSU and
all problems where gone. Also to consider are ground loops, although
I hardly ever had any issues with it. But I guess if you use
cabinets/psu's/modules ready made that it all will work fine. <br>
